## Nutritional Benefits of Pecan Pie Balls
Despite their indulgent taste, Pecan Pie Balls offer several nutritional benefits:
– **Rich in Healthy Fats:** Pecans are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help reduce bad cholesterol levels.
– **High in Protein:** The nuts provide a good amount of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth.
– **Packed with Antioxidants:** Pecans contain antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress in the body.
– **Vitamins and Minerals:** They are also a source of essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.
While these benefits make Pecan Pie Balls a more nutritious option compared to some other desserts, it’s important to enjoy them in moderation due to their calorie density.
